I tried 26 of Cold Stone Creamery's Signature Creations and ranked them from worst to best

• The Founder’s Favorite was too sweet for me, even though I liked the brownies.
• I loved the Banana Caramel Crunch, which tasted like a piece of banana bread fresh out of the oven.

1. Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip
   

   

   9. Chocolate Devotion

   

   7. Reese’s Peanut Butter Awesome Sauce

   

   Roasted almonds added a fun crunch to the soft, ripe bananas, and sweet caramel drizzle mixed into a French vanilla base. The whole thing somehow managed to taste warm and inviting.

   2. Mud Pie Mojo

   

I want to wake up to this concoction of coffee ice cream, Oreos, peanut butter, roasted almonds, and fudge every morning.

The creamy coffee ice cream was light and sweet, with a bit of a bite in the aftertaste, which created a great base to balance all the flavors.

I also loved the array of textures the toppings provided.

1. Dough-lightful Peanut Butter
   

   

My favorite Signature Creation was the Dough-lightful Peanut Butter.

I loved the cookie-dough ice cream base and thought the added peanut butter, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and sugar crystals provided an interesting crunch and a filling, balanced, salty-sweet taste.
